Hey all, What are the best combinations for the 4 oscillators for ambient tunes? Should I be using Sine waves? Square waves? After a few hours of messing about, the sounds that I am making are "eerie" sounding sounds.. whereas my goal is lush pads and soundscapes. If someone can point me i...

thanks

hi all, I do a lot of ambient production, which tends to be a couple of pads and some minor FX.. nothing too too complicated. I've always loved deadmau5 and that progressive house sound. How should I go about making prog house and what elements do I need? I'm so used to just one or two pads and some...

thanks! ill backup to my ehdd

Hi all,

Can I delete the ALP file after I double click on it and it installs into Live 9 or do I have to keep it? They are just in my documents folder.

Anyone with Live 9, can you comment on the sound bank? is it impressive? thinking of getting Live 9 but want to know if the 30gb sound bank is worth it

Thank you

Hi guys, I don't use Live that much but I just recently acquired some hardware: a keyboard synth and a drum machine. I'd like to record these into Live rather than Studio One.. problem is I only have a small audio interface. So basically I would have to plug my keyboard, make a pad, then unplug and ...

I'll try the points you brought up, basically my setup is as follows edit: yeah there is a midi out from the I-face to the midi-in of the EMX1, could this disrupt the sound?? I'll try that out tonight Korg EMX1 - audio line L/R (1/4") outputs to the inputs of my audio interface (presonus audiob...

both

the synth sounds fine when I'm not running Live so I don't think it is my connections

as soon as I open Live, the sound gets distorted, noticeably distorted

i plugged in my emx into my audio interface and when I open Live, all of a sudden the output of my monitors becomes really fuzzy sounding and I have to close Live and restart my EMX to get the sound back to normal... any ideas?

Hi all,

I just got a EMX1-SD and I LOVE IT! I have an audio interface and Midi cables... not very Live-knowledgeable so could someone help me set this up?

Can I record different parts of a track that I made on EMX1 and add effects and stuff using Live?

Thanks

I think my problem is sound design within Ableton Live, I find the preset instruments to be uninspiring.. do any of you have any recommended VSTs for this sort of downtempo/ambient jazzy music?

I'm new to Live, ish.. can someone point me in the direction on making a great ambient tune?

I have a cool sounding pad down but what goes into making ambient music? is there percussion? is there a lead? or is it layers of the same pad slightly tweaked?

any help would be great help

thanks!

I never knew that one could make amazing sounding pads and leads just by using this instrument and manipulating a short sound clip.. I find it easier than say Operator or Analog.. easier to sculpt sounds..

What are you guys' thoughts?

thank you!
